There's all this talk in 100% about irresponsible spending and the clubs in the championship mortgaging their future for a shot at short term success. What Swansea did was responsible and sustainable. Despite the parachute payments their wage bill was a looming tower threatening to topple ovee. Yet they're now being called out...
In the words of the old song ; It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it,
t'aint what you do it's the time that you do it.
Ellis Short did it the wrong way and at the wrong time with a succession of terrible appointments at manager and sporting director level. He's £200,000,000 poorer as a result and we have only stayed out of administration or worse due to his generosity.
Swansea had just spent seven seasons in The Premier League yet wouldn't support their new manager for twelve months. There's a time to speculate and a time to pull your horns in. In my opinion Sunderland and Swansea both got it wrong.
The golden future career I expect Potter to enjoy will show what a false economy Swansea's owners made.
